What are the factors that influence the interest rates on car loans?

There are many factors that influence the interest rates on car loans. Some of such factors are external to the loan product and some intrinsic. Some examples of such factors are mentioned below.

  • Type of interest rate levied whether fixed rate or floating rate as floating rates are generally lower than fixed rates on loan products
  • Loan amount required by the borrower which can be reduced by paying higher margin money which will result in lower need for car finance and thereby lower rate of interest.
  • Inflation in the country can influence the interest rates especially floating rates which are directly proportional to such inflation rate.
  • If repayment period of the vehicle is lesser and the loan amount is higher, then it will require the borrower to pay higher monthly installments which can be deemed as a higher risk so interest rates will accordingly be higher. In case of higher tenure and lower amount of loan, the risk is considered to be less so rate puff interest will be less.
  • Type of vehicle to be purchased out of loan as interest rates on used car loans is generally higher than that on new car loans.
  • Demand for vehicles in the market
  • Category of the borrower whether an individual or a non-individual as c=some lenders provide loans at higher rates in case of non-individual borrowers
  • Credit history of the applicant is thoroughly reviewed to determine the applicable rate of interest. A person with a good credit history and higher credit score will benefit from lower interest rate and vice versa.
  • Repayment capacity of the applicant is also factored in to calculate the applicable rate. A good repaying capacity will not only ensure eligibility for loan but lower interest rate as well.
  • Relationship of the applicant with the lender is also considered as a person having an account with the lender can get the benefit of reduced rate of interest.
